Setting up your environment
This tutorial depends on a few key packages to work correctly. This page will outline how to install all the necessary components for this workshop. If you’re attending this tutorial at Bioconductor 2022, you can skip directly to the next page.
Prerequisites
All content will be shown using the R programming language. For
existing users, note that your version of R must be at
least version 4.x.x for compatibility with the packages
we’ll be using.
I also recommend using RStudio as a development environment, since it’s an excellent IDE with tons of features. This step is totally optional; feel free to use whatever development environment you prefer.
Installing packages
This workshop depends on two main packages: DECIPHER and
SynExtend. These will be installed via Bioconductor, a package manager for
open source bioinformatics projects in R.
if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install('DECIPHER')
BiocManager::install('SynExtend')
